Features: In the 1930s, a small, unassuming pub near Oxford University was often the gathering place for two elderly professors who would chat and share their quirky ideas, vowing to write a fantasy epic each. Many years later, this pub became a sacred place in the hearts of countless readers, as it gave birth to two great works about faith and imagination: The Chronicles of Narnia and The Lord of the Rings. Since the late 1990s, a single mother named J.K. Rowling has almost written a new book about "Harry Potter" for her daughter every year. When asked how many books the series would ultimately be, Rowling replied that there would be seven. Because her mother had once read her a story about "Narnia," and that set of books had seven volumes: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Prince Caspian, The Dawn Treader, The Silver Chair, The Horse and His Boy, The Magician's Nephew, and The Last Battle. In the old professor's house, there were many rooms, each with many doors, but only one led to another world… Narnia. A prophecy was passed down in Narnia: two sons of Adam and two daughters of Eve would appear, defeat the evil White Witch, and end the eternal winter. The Lion, Aslan, said: The future of Narnia depends on their courage. Here, a destiny is about to be fulfilled, and a legend begins.
